[Resolved] mail()works -windows -unix doesn't

[bonio]

hello,
This works on win.me/apache, but when I uploaded to a remote host with unix/apache-it won't.
From the help I know this could be a number of things but none seem relevant.
I get the I'm sorry.....message to indicate its failing.
<?php
print "<pre>";
print "Thank you very much for your enquiry\n";
print "$POST[title]&nbsp;$POST[firstname]&nbsp;$POST[surname]\n\n";
print "Your address is:\n";
print "$POST[address]<br>\n";
print "</pre>";
//start bulding up the mail message

$msg ="Title: $POST[title]\n";
$msg .="First Name: $POST[firstname]\n";
$msg .="Surname: $POST[surname]\n";
$msg .="Home Address: $POST[address]\n";
$msg .="Telephone: $POST[phone]\n";
$msg .="email Address: $POST[email]\n";
$msg .="Additional/demo Enquiry: $POST[demo]\n";
//construct a note of which boxes have been selected
if (!empty($POST [product1])){
foreach($POST[product1] as $valueproduct1) {
$msg .="brochure: $valueproduct1, ";
}
}
if (!empty($POST [product2])){
foreach($POST[product2] as $valueproduct2) {
$msg .="brochure: $valueproduct2, ";
}
}
if (!empty($POST [product3])){
foreach($POST[product3] as $valueproduct3) {
$msg .="brochure: $valueproduct3, ";
}
}
if (!empty($POST [product4])){
foreach($POST[product4] as $valueproduct4) {
$msg .="brochure: $valueproduct4, ";
}
}
if (!empty($POST [product5])){
foreach($POST[product5] as $valueproduct5) {
$msg .="brochure: $valueproduct5, ";
}
}
//set up the mail
$to = "[e-mail]";
$subject = "Form Submission Results";
$mailheaders = "From: MyWebsite:<[e-mail]>\n";
$mailheaders .= "Reply-To: $POST[email]";
//send the mail
mail($to, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders) or print "I'm sorry the form is still under construction please ring us until completion";
?>

From the PHP Manual:

Note: You must use \r\n to separate headers, although some Unix mail transfer agents may work with just a single newline (\n).

Also, instead of using $POST[title], use $POST['title']

Within double quote delimited strings, use {$_POST['title']}

This is because title can also be interpreted as a constant being used as an index.

<?php
print "<pre>";
print "Thank you very much for your enquiry\n";
print "{$POST['title']}&nbsp;{$POST['firstname']}&nbsp;{$POST['surname']}\n\n";
print "Your address is:\n";
print "{$POST['address']}<br>\n";
print "</pre>";
//start bulding up the mail message

$msg ="Title: {$POST['title']}\n";
$msg .="First Name: {$POST['firstname']}\n";
$msg .="Surname: {$POST['surname']}\n";
$msg .="Home Address: {$POST['address']}\n";
$msg .="Telephone: {$POST['phone']}\n";
$msg .="email Address: {$POST['email']}\n";
$msg .="Additional/demo Enquiry: $POST{['demo']}\n";
//construct a note of which boxes have been selected
if (!empty($POST ['product1'])){
foreach($POST['product1'] as $valueproduct1) {
$msg .="brochure: $valueproduct1, ";
}
}
if (!empty($POST ['product2'])){
foreach($POST['product2'] as $valueproduct2) {
$msg .="brochure: $valueproduct2, ";
}
}
if (!empty($POST ['product3'])){
foreach($POST['product3'] as $valueproduct3) {
$msg .="brochure: $valueproduct3, ";
}
}
if (!empty($POST ['product4'])){
foreach($POST['product4'] as $valueproduct4) {
$msg .="brochure: $valueproduct4, ";
}
}
if (!empty($POST ['product5'])){
foreach($POST['product5'] as $valueproduct5) {
$msg .="brochure: $valueproduct5, ";
}
}
//set up the mail
$to = "[e-mail]\r\n";
$subject = " Form Submission Results\r\n";
$mailheaders = "From: MyWebsite:<[e-mail]>\r\n";
$mailheaders .= "Reply-To: {$POST[email]}";
//send the mail
mail($to, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders) or print "I'm sorry the form is still under construction please ring us until completion";
?>

Is this what you mean? I regret it has had no effect (no harm either).
Thanks

$mailheaders = "From: MyWebsite: <[e-mail]>\r\n";
Remove the colon and it works- windows must be more forgiving than Unix.
